FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates generally to a garment system, and moreparticularly, to a garment apparatus having a plurality of pockets witha plurality of heat exchangers.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

A top, or an upper garment, is an item of clothing that covers thechest, the belly, the waist, the arms, and the neck. Usually, the uppergarment covers most of the upper human body between the neck and thewaist. The bottom of the upper garment can be as short as mid-torso, oras long as mid-thigh. For men, the upper garment is generally pairedwith pants, and for women, the upper garment is generally with pants orskirts. Common types of the upper garment are t-shirts, blouses andshirts.

The upper garment is an item worn on the upper human body. Typically,the upper garment is made of fabrics or textiles, but over time thereare upper garments made from animal skin and other thin sheets ofmaterials and natural products found in the environment or artificialproducts. The wearing of the upper garment is mostly restricted to humanbeings and is a feature of all human societies. The amount and type ofthe upper garment worn depends on race, gender, body type, socialfactors, and geographic considerations.

The upper garment serves many purposes. For example, the upper garmentcan serve as protection from the elements, rough surfaces, sharp stones,rash-causing plants, insect bites, splinters, thorns and prickles, sincethe upper garment is able to provide a barrier between the skin and theenvironment. The upper garment is able to insulate against cold or hotconditions. Additionally, the upper garment is able to provide ahygienic barrier, keeping infectious and toxic materials away from theupper human body. The upper garment is able to protect the upper humanbody from injury and discomfort or facilitate navigation in variedenvironments. The upper garment is able to also provide protection fromultraviolet radiation. The upper garment is able to prevent glare orincrease visual acuity in harsh environments. The upper garment is ableto provide protection against injury in specific tasks and occupations,sports, and warfare.

The upper garment may have significant social factors as well. Wearingthe upper garment is a variable social norm. The upper garment mayconnote modesty. Being deprived of the upper garment in front of othersmay be embarrassing, especially for women. In many parts of the world,not wearing the upper garment in public so that genitals, breasts, orbuttocks are visible could be considered indecent exposure, especiallyfor women. The upper garment also may be used to communicate socialstatus, wealth, group identity, and individualism.

Furthermore, the upper garment may have pockets, belts, or loops as ameans to carry things. For example, pouches of pockets of the uppergarment may carry heating packets or cooling packets. A known uppergarment for heating body temperature or cooling body temperature haspouches for accommodating inserted heating packets or cooling packets.Another known ice cooling upper garment is used to alleviatephysiological strain due to heat stress and has sealed pocketscontaining water which can be frozen so as to provide body cooling.However, these known upper garments do not describe that an uppergarment apparatus provides therapy functions to shoulders, a back and awaist of a wearer.

Accordingly, there is need for a solution to at least one of theaforementioned problems. For instance, there is an established need fora preferably garment apparatus that could give relief to users who maysuffer from muscle and arthritic pain, degenerative disc disease, postphysical therapy pain, post-surgery pain, sports injury related pain,heat exhaustion, inflammation and muscle pain.
